Flat Charlie's Out & About Fotos and Journal!

Flat Charlie enjoying his trips to Charleville and Toowoomba!

We arrived at Charleville and had a yummy lunch before going to the Historic House Museum. We saw old fashioned cash registers and someone playing an old American folk music instrument.


Then we started on the long walk to the Cosmos Centre. It took a long time and I got very hot, but it was worth it. I liked everything about it except the video of a mountain-sized meteorite and it's effects.That was really scary.

Go Flat Charlie!!

FlatCharlie's Train Trip Home

Flat Charlie just loves to watch the passing scenery. Here is the front of the Westlander.



On the journey east, we saw some amazing hillside and mountain views. I also got very excited, as we went through a few tunnels!



On the way back, we were transferred to a bus at Rosewood, for the remainder of the trip to Brisbane. This gave us the opportunity to see some more of the countryside. We were also higher up. I also liked travelling on the bus (or coach) as it had curtains, reclining positions, radio, lights and more. The radio and lights were not working, but that may be because it was just an hour long trip.

Charlie's Train Trip

See Charlie enjoy his trip to Charleville!



I enjoyed one 'train night' on the way to Charleville (23 Sep)and another on the way to Toowoomba (24 Sep). 'Train night' is what N* calls waking and sleeping while you sit on the train seat!

My host family told me that they prefer the Spirit of the Outback to the Westlander, as the Spirit has its own dining car. The seats at the Club Car on the Westlander are also not very good for movie-viewing.

This is Flat Charlie, supported by a friend, with the Caboolture River in the background.

Near Chinchilla, we saw a very brightly-lit building. One of the other passengers said that it was a power station, or something similar.
